Special Service Support Program Levels of Service Every level of service will be driven by a written plan and a permission to provide services to be signed by the parent. That permission to provide services will include an agreement to cover the costs charged by the School for those services. The intent of the School is for the supplemental fees to cover at least 60% of the extra personnel costs incurred by the School for offering these supplemental support services, although students requiring more extensive services may be charged up to the full amounts of the extra costs incurred. Special Services are generally to be delivered in groups of between 3 and 6 students. 1:1 Services may be re-classified at a higher level to recognize the specific load represented. LEVEL 1 SUPPORT SERVICE PLAN - Minor interventions that are developed and implemented by the Special Services staff over a period not to exceed four (4) weeks. Should the intervention require more than four weeks, the student must move to a Level 2 Support Service Plan. - Minor interventions that are developed with the assistance of the Special Services staff and mainly supervised/implemented by the classroom teacher over a period not to exceed four (4) weeks. Should the intervention require more than four weeks, the student must move to a Level 2 Support Service Plan. - Parent Partnership Plan - Highly Able Student Plan development may be supported by Special Services staff, but the expectation is that it will be fully implemented by the classroom teacher. - Basic Accommodation Plan LEVEL 2 SUPPORT SERVICE PLAN Level 2 includes what are currently defined as Accommodation Plan, Monitoring IEP, Emotional Intervention Plan, Academic Support Plan. These services generally require no more than 50 minutes of teacher contact time in a week. LEVEL 3 INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN Level 3 reflects the services in the written IEP, requiring between 50 and 200 minutes of teacher contact time in a week. LEVEL 4 INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN Level 4 reflects the services in the written IEP, requiring between 200 and 300 minutes of teacher contact time in a week. LEVEL 5 INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN Level 5 reflects the services in the written IEP, requiring between 300 and 600 minutes of teacher contact time in a week. LEVEL 6 INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN Level 6 services require in excess of 600 minutes a week are not generally considered as a normal part of the Cotopaxi program. Specific exceptions may be made when a student has been admitted and the extent of the services required is reassessed later to require the higher level of attention. Level 5 services are defined differently for each individual by an index calculated by taking the total minute of contact time required and dividing it by 600. That index will also be applied to the Level 4 fees to determine charges. DEDICATED AIDE Should a student require a dedicated aide, the School will charge the parent for the total cost of the aide, plus the teacher services applied under the Level of Service.
